messages on terminal window

[geffry]

Hi,

i get the following messages dumped on all my terminal windows quite often.

Dec 6 00:58:02 ws42 sendmail[4592]: [ID 801593 mail.alert] iB65rYw04592: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere


how do i prevent this msg appearing on the terminal windows.

You could open up and save a console to your desktop... The console should capture all error messages.

I did not open a console window, I open a terminal window to machine.. but i keep on getting messages on the terminal window.

not only sendmail messages but other system messages..anyway to stop the spam of messages...

ether open a consolewindow (wasn't it dtterm -C ?) or configure /etc/syslog.conf to write messages only to files instead of writing to console;

attention: this will change behavior while booting (as long as logger utility is used)
